Scenes From Stafford's Christian Music Festival

Thankfully, the rain held off for the entirety of the five-hour Christian Music Festival, held at Stafford's Hyde Park on June 17.

The first of what is hoped to be an annual event was presented by the First United Methodist Church and featured area bands and musicians, as well as inspirational prayers and messages from local clergy.

A number of people came out to stand together for the afternoon's music and praise, while also enjoying food and family-friendly games and activities.

A Walk-a-Thon also took place during the event, to benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
